A giveaway will be held on October 29, 2026 for a bundle of merch, which includes a signed [[Minecraft:iron pickaxe]] by the original Mojang team, a 10th-anniversary Mojang-themed [[Minecraft:llama]] [[Minecraft:plush]] distributed to staff, a ''[[Minecraft: China Edition]]'' team jacket, a {{MCL}} jacket,a {{MCD2}} stitched playmat, a [[Minecraft:Crafter Cape]] code card, and three {{MCD2\|Corrupted Creeper Cape}} code cards.

Some very old and rare things here! That pickaxe makes good on a promise I made to the dev team in 2011, before I worked at Mojang, that all items they signed would go to charity.
